Seriously, Nintendo is not THAT Important

4. 3D Gaming - That's not a gaming platform, and more of a tech demo. 3D screens have been around in Japan for a while, but never on a dedicated gaming system. I never said Nintendo invented 3D, just was first to implement it in games (and if we go super technical, Virtual Boy is 3D and that's 1995)

The original comment was "glasses free 3D gaming". If we are allowed glasses...

Yea, but I never said that.

But if you want to play that game

I don't know which came first, and I doubt Nintendo was the first to do 3D in gaming with glasses.

Oh you're being super technical, and still wrong.

1. Radofin and Atari are Joysticks, not Analog sticks. Similar, but different. Nintendo introduced Analog sticks

2. NES Power glove beats the Sega Activator 

3. That Atari Paddle is not a shoulder button. It's like a thumb button.

4. 3D Gaming - That's not a gaming platform, and more of a tech demo. 3D screens have been around in Japan for a while, but never on a dedicated gaming system.

As for everything else, all you managed to name for Sony/Ms was that they were the first to have various ports. LOL That means nothing for gaming.

1. From what I understand, that's actually the Neo Geo/Neo Geo CD.

2. Assuming we're not including light-guns or driving wheels.

1. Actualy it's Atari, but like MikeRox said, Nintendo made the D-pad, and I'd like to add that after the NES/SNES everyone copied Nintendo with the Start/Select buttons, and the D-Pad + 4 button + Shoulder button configuration.

2. My point was motion play. A light gun, nor a driving wheel is motion play, they are just controllers.

Still I listed nearly a dozen innovations by Nintendo, where Sony & MS have 1 or 0. Just proved to BeElite that Nintendo has always been a very innovative company.

Plus the few times Nintendo didn't invent the tech, Nintendo did make it popular. After the Wii, MS made Kinect and now packs it with all XBO's.
